They point it out as if it invalidates his opinion. He’s angry at this particular form of competition. To argue back ‘well what about other things’ is a mix of whataboutism and tu quoque.
“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” Just because its not exactly the same thing doesnt mean he doesnt have blood on his hands. How is it fair that lower league clubs that have fought for years to get promoted then lose out to a billionaire with no link to the club or country. Is this fair play? You telling me thats not a closed system in a different coat. What chance do they have? None. 0. Nada.
Who are you calling a lier. Its a fans opinion forum. Im calling him a hypocrite based on the fact that he is committing similar atrocities against football and making an educated guess that if he was profiting from the super league then he would say different. Thats a fair assumption. Doesnt make me a lier.
Stop trying to compare it. Its different I agree. But it still stands the corruption of football is systemic. Its rotten to the core. The ESL is just a symptom of its underlying disease. And the disease, the corruption, the greed has everything to do with Neville. It has everything to do with everyone who participated or stood by and did nothing. Pot calling the kettle black. If you want to state that ESL is worse then fair enough. But its like the guy who stabbed you shouting at the guy who ran over you with his car.
I don’t if I’m misunderstanding something, but how is Neville pouring his own money into Salford an example of greed? Has he made much return on his investment?
Of course he would. He's as two faced as they come. Remember you have to give a manager time he spouted, yet sacked his own teams manager after 4 months and a week after they had won a trophy. Good player, not such a good bloke.
Semantics. Point still stands. Doing the exact same thing as in destroying football, making unfair competition etc
His backer is Peter Lim the billionaire. They are buying players for way more than any other clubs can afford. Peter lim and the rest of the celebrity footballers are not doing it for the love of football. They have a long term goal to get a return on their investment.
You honestly think that if Neville wanted to make money and was acting out of pure greed, that he would have chosen to buy Salford for that purpose?
You think Per Lim is in it for shits and giggles?
But I thought we were taking about Gary Neville being a hypocrite?
If he brings in Peter Lim as a backer who is in it for the money. If he buys his way out of the league when even Scholes said they wouldn't do that at the beginning. When he sacks managers when preaching that sacking managers is bad. Does this not all point to a hypocrite? There is obviously a bond between Salford and United and the players do have some altruistic motives but every action they take is not all about the purity of football.
Well that’s all well and good. I’m not trying to take the piss I was asking how this is an example of greed that’s all. Pouring a lot of his own resources into an investment without any guarantee of making a decent return doesn’t strike me as an act of ‘greed’.
Point taken. But I’d have thought he would have come out , guns blazing, scorning this whole episode.
I hope you are right. I would love to see the bold

I didn't take it as you taking the piss. I was just replying to your question. I agree that its grey. Its hard to state that its 100 percent pure greed and yes how do you run a football club without funding? How do you run one without sacking managers? The problem I have is that he is a main voice in football and preaches one thing and practices the other. Same as a lot of the voices that are going all mental.
Avoided giving an answer I think.
Really? Wow.
If you listened to Klopp on Radio 5Live around the time of the Brexit debate you’d realise that he’s as opinionated as Neville, if not more. He can do it quite eloquently in 2 languages
